Mat 7 (KJV)
7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?
10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

(MSG)
7 "Don't bargain with God. Be direct. Ask for what you need.
8 This isn't a cat-and-mouse, hide-and-seek game we're in.
9 If your child asks for bread, do you trick him with sawdust?
10 If he asks for fish, do you scare him with a live snake on his plate?
11 As bad as you are, you wouldn't think of such a thing. You're at least decent to your own children. So don't you think the God who conceived you in love will be even better?

Friday's thread

Please remember sharktrager's friend in your prayers - they received very, very bad news. And pray for Chris, undergoing chemotherapy.

Prayers for those in the path of Hurricane Ivan, and for those in need. May the hand of God guide our paths, and the Spirit of the Lord be upon you. May God bless our leaders, our troops, our familes, and our country. May our Lord and Saviour use you to spread His Holy Word, and to bring Him honour and glory.
